If Buress can produce?

It makes it a very easy desicion to let Wallace go next year. Sign Sanders and with Cothery and Burress you still have a very strong 4. Not sure Plax is done yet. Just needs throws plus offers a something we do not have Size. Draft a developemental guy or maybe Gilreath rounds it out. Not bad save the money and put else where. Think Plax may have a year or two left. He was a guy that had the game taken away from him and still wants to play. Body has not taken a huge beaten. Plus he and Ben are close. If he shows some production down the stretch it is easy to let Wallace go next year. Actually Sanders and Brown seem to be a better fit for Haley's O.

IDK if signing Plex replaces MW, but, I guess it could help. MW pops the top off the D (or at least he used to), I don't think Plex does that at this point; he isn't that fast. Then again, does Haley ever go deep? How many times has he so far this season? Twice?

Burress might be a stop-gap replacement & Red Zone specialist. If the Steelers let Wallace go, they'll need to bring in another 'target' guy that can break open a game like Wallace can. Could be another speedster, or it could be a T.O. type WR that is big, strong & excellent after the catch. Regardless, Burress is neither of those. But he can help.
